WELCOME TO SANDRINGHAM SCHOOL

Sandringham is a highly popular and oversubscribed school in St Albans, Hertfordshire. We are extremely proud of our excellent reputation both locally and nationally. 

We believe that every child can prosper in life if challenged and inspired appropriately.  A strong academic curriculum supported by outstanding personal development and extra-curricular provision, helps Sandringham students develop as individuals with the necessary skills to be successful in adult life.

Our vision is that 'Everybody can be Somebody' and is achieved through a rich curriculum and balancing high expectations with a very caring and nurturing environment for all. Our core values at Sandringham are Relationships, Responsibility and Respect, and these help to shape everyone who attends or works at the school. 

Sandringham is a positive and happy place to be.  Students are incredibly well-mannered, look after one another and enjoy being here.  They love the experience both in and out of the classroom and as a result, leave as well-rounded individuals with the skills and abilities to take on the World.  Staff have sought to ensure that every young person feels valued and listened to.

We are part of the BeauSandVer post-16 consortium and also lead several national programmes including a National Teaching School Hub which is responsible for delivering professional development for teachers, support staff and leaders.  The Alban Federation, also based on site, are training teachers of the future as a designated Initial Teacher Training awarding body.

Staff well being at Sandringham is a key priority and with an excellent working environment we take every opportunity to develop the campus and are proud of the resources and facilities available to all the young people and staff.

We are a member of the Ambition Education Trust, a Trust where each school makes a powerful contribution to the on-going progress across the Trust, and we enjoy working in a partnership and learning constantly from each other.  Working collaboratively, we remain focused on continuously improving to provide both rewarding careers for our employees' and amazing experiences for the young people in our care.
